## Indications for use
Stryker Spine VLIFT TM is a vertebral body replacement system intended to replace a vertebral body or an entire vertebra. It is for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body or vertebra resected or excised during total and partial corpectomy and vertebrectomy procedures due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). For both corpectomy and vertebrectomy procedures, the VLIFTTM system is intended to be used with supplemental internal fixation systems. The supplemental internal fixation systems that may be used with VLIFT TM include, but are not limited to Stryker Spine plate or rod systems (Xia®Spinal System, Spiral Radius 90D, and Trio). The use of bone graft with VLIFTTM is optional.
